2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. The Kohler Foundation recently gave the Mulvane a large gift of works by self-taught visual and performance artist Stella Waitzkin. She used innovative methods to create resin casts of everyday objects, like the book form at the center of this sculptural assemblage. Her works often suggest lost fragments of material culture recovered from archaeological digs or disaster sites.
